Adding PCs To Your Network
Once you have set up the Connection Point CP-2E, you can add more PCs
to your Connection Point CP-2E network. PC client configuration for
Windows XP, 2000 and NT 4.0 are included in this chapter. Refer to your
operating system’s online help for instructions to set up file sharing.
Ethernet PCs
The Connection Point CP-2E has a built-in 4-port 10/100 Ethernet switch.
Any of the Ethernet LAN ports can be connected to a computer that has
an Ethernet adapter installed. Each of the four Ethernet LAN ports
supports auto-sensing of MDI or MDI-X (crossover) connections. You
can connect the Connection Point CP-2E directly to personal computers
or indirectly through an Ethernet hub or switch. The Connection Point
CP-2E automatically determines the type of cable connection and
configures itself accordingly.
Adding Ethernet PCs
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect your PC to the next available
Ethernet port on the Connection Point CP-2E.
2. Find the TCP/IP settings for the Ethernet client-adapter on your PC
and verify that it is set to obtain an IP address automatically.
Instructions for Windows 98 and ME are found in Chapter 2.
Instructions for various Microsoft operating systems are found below.
3. Restart the PC to complete the process.
Note: You must restart your PC before continuing, even if you are not prompted to
reboot.
